VP, Corporate Tax - Virtual
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences.
We need to decide which sections to include based on content.
The posting includes:
- Our Story (company description) – could be "About the role"? Actually "Our Story" is about company. Could be "About the role"? Not exactly. The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content to those headings.
We have:
- Role description: "The Vice President, Corporate Tax is responsible for leading Alight's global tax function, including tax accounting, income tax compliance, transfer pricing, tax risk management, and strategic tax initiatives. This role ensures the company's tax obligations are met accurately and timely while maintaining strong internal controls and supporting the organization's financial reporting requirements. Additionally, this role serves as the primary tax advisor to senior finance leadership and business partners, providing practical, business-oriented guidance on complex tax matters. The role requires deep expertise in U.S. federal income taxation, partnership taxation, ASC 740 tax accounting, and transfer pricing, along with the ability to lead a high-performing team in a dynamic public company environment."
That could be "About the role" or "Responsibilities". Probably "About the role" for overview, then "Responsibilities" for detailed duties.
Then we have sections: Tax Accounting & Financial Reporting, Tax Compliance, Transfer Pricing, Tax Planning & Special Projects, Tax Risk Management & Controversy, Leadership. Those are responsibilities/duties. Could be under "Responsibilities" as list items.
Then "Knowledge, Education, Certification, Skills & Technical Proficiencies" and "Work Experience" – these are qualifications/requirements. Could be under "Requirements" or "Qualifications" and "Skills". The instruction says we can have sections like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide.
We have salary/pay range: "Salary Pay Range Minimum : 270,000.00 USD Maximum : 290,000.00 USD". That's specific pay info, so we should include a Pay section.
Benefits: earlier "Our Benefits With a comprehensive total rewards package, Alight offers programs and plans that support your mind, body, wallet, and life. Benefits include health, dental and vision coverages starting Day One. Additionally, Alight colleagues enjoy wellbeing programs, retirement plans with contribution matching, generous time off, parental leave, continuing education, and career growth opportunities – all within a thriving global organization." Also "Flexible Working" and "Great Place to Work". So we have benefits info. So we should include Benefits section.
Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly. There's flexible working but not schedule specifics. Probably we should not create Schedule section because no specific schedule info.
We need to avoid boilerplate like EEO, legal, application instructions, etc. So we must remove sections like "Application and Interview", "Our commitment to Inclusion", "Equal Opportunity Policy Statement", "Authorization to work in the Employing Country", disclaimer, etc.
We also need to remove duplicated lines.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include the company story? The "Our Story" paragraph about values, purpose, etc. That's substantive about company. Could be part of "About the role"? Or maybe we could include a brief "About Alight" but not a required heading. The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It doesn't forbid other headings? It says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It implies we should use those headings for sections. It doesn't say we cannot add other headings, but to follow the pattern we likely should stick to those. However, we could include "About the company" as a paragraph under About the role? Might be okay.
Better to include "About the role" containing both role overview and company story? The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it)". So we can have About the role heading.
Thus:
About the role

But that mixes company story and role overview. Might be okay.
Then Responsibilities: we can list the detailed duty sections as - each.
We need to preserve all substantive information from those sections: Tax Accounting & Financial Reporting, Tax Compliance, Transfer Pricing, Tax Planning & Special Projects, Tax Risk Management & Controversy, Leadership.
We should convert each bullet into list items.
Let's extract each:
Tax Accounting & Financial Reporting:
- Lead all aspects of global income tax accounting and reporting under ASC 740.
- Oversee preparation and review of quarterly and annual tax provisions, tax-related SEC disclosures, effective tax rate analysis, and supporting documentation.

- Partner with Finance, Legal, HR, and external advisors on complex tax matters.
- Assess the impact of legislative and regulatory developments and recommend appropriate actions.
- Lead tax due diligence and integration efforts associated with acquisitions, divestitures, and other strategic transactions as needed.
Tax Risk Management & Controversy:

- Build effective partnerships across Finance, Legal, Treasury, Human Resources, and business leadership.
- Communicate complex tax matters effectively to executive leadership, auditors, and external stakeholders.
- Serve as a trusted advisor to senior management on tax-related matters affecting the company.
We should ensure no duplicated lines. There's a line "Manage relationships with external service providers supporting compliance" seems incomplete but we keep as is.
Now Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: We have "Knowledge, Education, Certification, Skills & Technical Proficiencies" and "Work Experience". We could combine into Requirements section.
Knowledge, Education, Certification, Skills & Technical Proficiencies:
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Taxation, or related field required.
- CPA, JD, or Master's in Taxation strongly preferred.
- Advanced tax certification or specialized tax education is desirable.
Work Experience:
- 10+ years of progressive tax experience, including a combination of public accounting, law firm, and/or multinational corporate tax experience.
- Significant experience leading tax accounting and compliance functions within a large, complex organization.
- Deep expertise in U.S. federal income taxation and ASC 740 tax accounting.
- Proven experience with partnership taxation and partnership structures.
- Experience overseeing global transfer pricing programs.
- Experience managing external advisors, audits, and tax controversies.
- Prior experience in a public company environment
- Experience supporting acquisitions, restructurings, and strategic business initiatives preferred.
We could split into Requirements (education) and Qualifications (experience) or Skills. But instruction says we can have sections like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We'll make two sections: Requirements (education) and Qualifications (experience). Or maybe Skills for technical proficiencies. Let's decide:
- Requirements: Bachelor's degree etc.
- Qualifications: Work experience bullet points.
- Skills: maybe we could list technical proficiencies like ASC 740, transfer pricing, etc. But those are already in experience. Could combine.
